About Me

My name is Brecht Lecluyse and for as long as I can remember I have been passionate about games and movies, both as a form of entertainment as well as how they are made. What started out as a hobby has now become my fulltime occupation and I couldn’t be more excited. Besides that I have a soft spot for Lego minifigures, Stargate and science fiction in general.
